pg 253            5.  Hamilton is a pretty little town of six thousand souls, 
*25-30 miles *ten miles from Cincinnati, whose Catholic population is almost 
             exclusively German.  The foundation of a Brothers' schools was 
             laid there towards the end of 1855, at the request of the Rev. F. 
             Eberhard, of the Order of St. Francis, on the same conditions as 
             in Cincinnati.  It was however begun by an Irish Brother, who was 
             to be relieved as soon as the examinations at St. John's school 
             permitted Brother Dominic from St. John's to go there.  This 
             school is therefore too young to permit anything very positive to 
             be said of it, but according to all appearances it will be a 
             success.
